    A melon sword costs 500k-600k, One melon sells to the server for $1.65 each. You would need to farm 363,636 melons to get your money back. (That number is if the sword is bought for 600k.)

    If you need to make 600,000 by only selling blocks for 1.65 each you simply do 600,000 divided by 1.65. You can then check your work by multiplying 1.65 and 363,636. Those 2 multiplied toghether will get you extremely close to 600,000. It's not exact because 363,636 was rounded.

    Hmm I should be a math teacher :p

    If you have a melon sword you could easily make the money back in 60 hours. 60 hours of farming giving you 600k. 10k is very easy to make as long as you stay on task. 10x60=600k. But if you have ExtCommands+ you can make up to 15k per hour. If you made a steady profit of 15k per hour it would only take you 40 hours of farming to make the 600k. It really depends on your ability to stay on task because the price per hour can vary. Hope I helped! :)

    You can repair the tool instantly instead of waiting on another player to assist you..

    Owning the donation allows you to instantly repair your tool. You do not have to look for someone to do it. Even if you have someone that can do this for you it still eats away at your time loss and in turn your profit.

    It would be a better idea to just put 100k in lotto and see what happens *evil laugh*

    I've made 14k in an hour without many distractions, just the occasional chat and I waited about 5 min overall for 2 ereps.
